osier.StorageTechnology

class osier.StorageTechnology(technology_type='storage', storage_duration=0, initial_storage=0, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: Technology

The StorageTechnology extends the Technology by adding storage parameters.

Parameters:

• storage_duration (float or unyt.array.unyt_quantity) – The amount of time the battery could discharge continuously when full. Used to calculate the storage capacity.

• initial_storage (float or unyt.array.unyt_quantity) – The initial stored energy. Cannot exceed storage_capacity.

Methods

charge(surplus[, time_delta])	Charges the battery if there is a surplus of energy.
discharge(demand[, time_delta])	Discharges the battery if there is a surplus of energy.
power_output(v[, time_delta])	Calculates the power output given a demand value.
reset_history()	Resets the technology's power history for a new simulation.
